Long waits and incident with nurse

August 18, 2022
He had to wait 3 hours on an ambulance before even getting into A&E. He then had to wait a few hours in AMU. He was then moved a couple of times and is now on the bowel ward. It's okay but there was an incident with the night nurse.

Nurses weren't attentive

August 18, 2022
I was in there for 2 weeks. I got left on my own. I felt I was looking after the patients. Nurses weren't attentive. They didn't want to treat the patients.

Excellent Care

August 18, 2022
The cancer care at the QE has been excellent. Initially finding the problem, then radio and chemotherapy and finally after a wait on an operation. Unfortunately they have identified another problem and all is now very slow.

Fobbed me off

August 16, 2022
I went to A&E, the doctor sent me home with anti-sickness tablets. They just didn't understand how much pain I was in and fobbed me off. I was taken back to hospital by an ambulance less than 12 hours later where they admitted me.

It was good, last went when son was born. I was there in a ward for 15 days and moved to another. First ward was good but the second wasn’t good. Nobody cared after I had C-Section.

Really understaffed

Staffing is really bad. It's terrible, really understaffed. 12 patients to one nurse. Something needs to be done.

My mom was referred to spinal unit and she received the letter for appointment by post on Monday at 11:30 but her appointment was at 9:30 the same morning. She missed her appointment due to poor communication.

Terrible

July 28, 2022
Tooth became infected so I ended up in A&E and needed antibiotics. Terrible, really bad. Gave me morphine on arrival and then left me 6 hours without pain relief. The nurse was really rude.
